Where did you get 1959 from, and are you sure of that?I have it in 1956, but I never thought that was quite correct.

I probably got it from 45cat but I see the Catalog Of CopyrightEntries entry for label owner Archie Shippings (who wrote the song orclaimed to) also says 1959https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5DshAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA449&lpg=PA449&dq=Archie+Shippings&source=bl&ots=N8MbmGkRlm&sig=ACfU3U1HhI_9TQO8iV8pCQngsfXHb7Suyg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1zr3d97XoAhXyrnEKHZzxBgQQ6AEwF3oECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=Archie%20Shippings&f=false

Hope these will pass muster. The last one only makes sense, I suppose,if you are old enough to remember Christine Jorgensen's moment of fame,and you know that The Charmer was actually Louis Farrakhan, who laterhad a much longer run of "fame."

Years ago Mike Wallace interviewed Farrakhan for 60 Minutes and got himto return to his musical roots. No, not calypso--he was also anaccomplished classical violinist.I suspect his favorite composer was Wagner.

To be accurate this record is actually titled "Half Awoke" (sic) andis credited to Monroe Tucker & His Orchestra (vocal Percy Mayfield)on Supreme 1543 in 1949.It was reissued on Recorded In Hollywood 111 in 1950

Whew! I thought you were going to say I missed it in my updated list.

I'll leave it to Bruce to decide how to name it for the tournament. Idon't want to claim any advantage by adding another layer ofobscurity. :)

Gonna leave it as you had it.

---------Why would you do that if it's not what the label says? Especially sinceyou're so meticulous about misspelling J.B. Lenoir's name a differentway for each release!

It's what "a" label says, just not the original release. I refer to the Solitaires song as "The Angels Sang," rather than the original title "You're Back With Me."

Anyone got a release date on this?

I'm guessing 1956 (or maybe 1955) based on the fact that it definitelyappeared over here in UK on Melodisc label in 1956.

In the USA it appeared on Monogram. This was a NYC label and not thelater Monogram label that Chris Montez was on (which was in Hollywood)
